Without some strict rules to follow, this might be difficult...too many ideas on my mind and a sigle choice to be made...we'll see what will be the first one I'll come to terms to write it down anyway...eh,eh

Yes, I can see how puzzling coming up with a concept, writing a first draft, spell checking and finishing a flash story is for you. So it took you 2 1/2 hours you say?

Actually, as in the office, I need to work under strict rules, in a way...all the same, for a story, if there is no limit to the subject or no specific theme to be followed, there are too wide spaces for fancy to move and roam, and no need to really focus on something to be completed...and I could end up with nothing, or too much, with problems about what to choose...eh,eh

Yikes! I left off how to submit a story instructions in The Premise of this contest. I am so sorry.

I've got to make a check list to follow before posting contests.

To submit is simple. Click on my name in blue at the top of this post. On the next page, click on the words, "Send Private Message". On the final page is where you post. Type something in the heading and post your story in the body of the word processor, then click submit.

Follow the rules in the premise post above and you want have any problems.

Anyway, mine was sent in today...a funny one, maybe...

Okay I see, you need structure. I understand. I'll think about that!

I however approve of the Open Ended nature ... I just missed the window for this one!

Forces are brewing within me this year, and they are both powerful yet tough to control...
